2014 BCS National Championship Open Thread
Last one, heald in the Grand Daddy of them all!
Florida State is favored by 13 on a neutral field, by some ESPN bottom line metric. Will Jameis Winston with the Heisman and MNC and end the SEC's run of 6 straight?
Auburn is the self-proclaimed team of destiny. Will they have one more miracle tonight?
Line: FSU - 10.5
Over/Under: 67.5

I remember some Mgobloggers wondering why on earth Kozan and Kris Frost would want to go to Auburn instead of Michigan.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
If I remember correctly...RR was working on his best class in 2010 until the crap hit the fan.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:13 PM ^
Offenses come and go, but defense is forever.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
Aggressive, press coverage with constant pressure. Even Heisman Trophy Winners can be made to look bad on the college level with the right scheme!
January 6th, 2014 at 9:14 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
Looked the same way againt Duke. And here comes the overreaction to Auburn fast start.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:16 PM ^
OMG I hate that asshole in this AT&T commercial. The people who scripted that commercial probably thought it was so funny to do, but it's fucking awful. I want to punch that guy in the nuts. Why is that commercial on 300 times a day?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:34 PM ^
Why don't you just calm down?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:16 PM ^
Both sides playing championship level defense that is based on press coverage and constant pressure. I love it! This is what you need to do if you are going to make it to the big game! MSU is one of the only teams in the B1G that plays that way and they won their BCS Bowl Game. OSU did not and gave up 40 pts.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
Fickell sucks so I don't think playing that style would have helped.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:21 PM ^
You can press, but you need to make sure that you bring the heat as well.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
Auburn CBs look impressive on that 3rd down play. I haven't watched FSU play before this game, his this type of D a rarity against FSU?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
That should have been PI.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:18 PM ^
ugh
Too many commercials. I know this is the title game, but the amount is as bad as an NFL game.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:19 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
The Auburn Offense is amazing to watch.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^

January 6th, 2014 at 9:20 PM ^
The oldest trick in the book.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:21 PM ^
Eh, very close, but he was down just in time. It's like less than a second.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:22 PM ^
He was, but that will be in his head now.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:22 PM ^
Really torn here. On one hand, I'm definitely tired of the ESS EEE CEE crap. But I don't really want to root for the big favorite. I also don't like FSU. I'm finding myself inching towards Auburn. But then I remember they're in the SEC, and it continues...
January 6th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:23 PM ^
Joyner is a freaking idiot
January 6th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
That is a crap call. All the woofing Auburn is doing and they call that? Auburn getting all the calls.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
If the SEC wins again I will puke. FSU is getting straight owned right now.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:24 PM ^
You can't make that call. Unbelievable. Only an SEC team would get that call. Just a joke.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE?!?!
January 6th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^
Wow nice D, FSU.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:25 PM ^

Anyone want to argue with me now that the SEC is by FAR the best and greatest football conference in college football? Like Brent said, this is Auburn and the S . E . C. Florida State never faced a team like this in their puny ACC schedule.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:32 PM ^

You wanna rethink those sentiments and stick to salad dressings?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
Based on what I have seen so far. MSU could beat FSU. I really don't want to see the SEC win another championship. Really not impressed with the ACC at this point, Duke gets beat by Texas A&M and FSU showing poorly vs. Auburn.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
To be fair Duke played right with A&M until they threw the game away in the last 2 minutes.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
FSU seems to have spent the past month listening to folks tell them how great they were. I want them to wake the hell up so at least I have a good game to watch.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:27 PM ^
JESUS! its not Auburn and the SEC its just fucking Auburn I'm so sick of this shit where a team wins a title and their conference is automatically better. BIG champ MSU beat the PAC12 champ. I guess the BIG was the better league this year top to bottom! WOOOO
January 6th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
I really had a feeling something like this would happen. Auburn is still riding the wave of the FG return.
January 6th, 2014 at 9:28 PM ^
January 6th, 2014 at 9:44 PM ^
This. Anyone else notice Alex Kozan starting?
January 6th, 2014 at 9:29 PM ^
